On the NPC capital ships. Pay more attention ;)

Someday they will be on the player capital ships as well. The devs just haven't gotten around to it; for some reason it sounds like adding shields to a player-owned ship is harder than it ought to be considering that there are already NPC ships with them.

I agree that some non-capital ships should have sheilds, but of course that should result in more mass and/or lower armor, and possibly less grid power. Recharging them could consume energy.
